Hello Fellow Researchers! I have been doing a lot of research on my Irish maternal line and found that all the branches of my tree lead to Donegal....I think. The first person on my tree, Thomas Adam Slater, came from Muff Parish, Drumskellan, Donegal County. Born in 1826, he left Ireland in 1851 on the Londonderry 6 out of Derry, to St. John, Canada. Eventually he and his brothers and sister (Andrew, John, James and Mary) settled in New Brunswick, in York County. Once in Canada, Thomas Adam Slater married Nancy Buchanan and they had several children. One of their kids, Thomas Clifford, married Nancy's niece Kate Buchanan. (nothing like keeping things in the family! :) So first cousins married here, as would others later on. [Mary Slater married a James Greer in Templemore, Londonderry and had children Thomas, Moses, John, and Robert. They would have come over to Canada after 1870, as their youngest child was born in Ireland in 1870. I have gotten quite a bit on the Greers, but any more info is welcome.] Mainly, I am looking for more info on the "Slaters of the Rock" as one person told me was the name for my family in that area. Were they farmers, masons? Not sure! Does anyone have access to records pertaining to that area, or graveyard info? ANY info would be so helpful to me!! I have heard there may be a Peggy or Alex Slater who may have info. I will take info from anyone at this point to continue my research. The brickwall begins and ends in Donegal it seems! I am willing to share any info on the Slaters in New Brunswick, Canada and the Greers in North Lake, York County, Canada with anyone. Thank you so much!! Joy
